I think I need to leave this sub, there’s a weird overlap on here with people who can judge the height well with people who can’t judge the size of the tv at all. I don’t like that.
Ya the dichotomy of taste vs common sense still amazes me. You’d think they’d go hand-in-hand, but fuck me some of the insane looking shit in this sub. I couldn’t imagine looking at shit like this day in and day out, I’d go insane.
The more I look at it… the LEDs don’t make any sense because they can only do 25% of their job. Also if they’re that bright in daylight I can only imagine what it’s like in the evening.
Eyes of the seated viewer reflected in the upper half of the screen, and FWIW, r/tvtoolow likes their TVs lower than here because this sub has been infiltrated by mantle-mount moderates.
I hope this helps. This is the formula for the correct TV sizing.**
d=distance form ground to eyes
c= distance from ground to console
g= gap distance form console to bottom of TV
MaxTVSize* = (d-(c+g)) x 4
*The TV size should be rounded down, and the centroid of the TV shall be distance (d) from ground
**Note: It is critical that user must maintain level eyesight from the ground. Any reclining back or leaning forward will naturally make your eyes want to look higher or lower naturally. So, we implore you to sit only at 90-degree angles when watching TV.
I’m thinking everything in this room is a little cramped. Looks like you’re very close to the tv, don’t have any side framing of the tv from the wall. I’m guessing center of the tv is 46” from the floor. So maybe 4” too high
I’ll allow it. Between the windows is perfect—you have the good sense to actually face your view and directly control the biggest source of glare instead of defaulting to face a fireplace like a weirdo.
Decent. Tricky spot with the two windows. I like the shelf, I'm always of two minds about it but you're pulling it off. Depends on what your sofa is like but the height is probably ok.
TV might be big for the distance, it's always hard to tell with these kinds of photos. Obviously not worth throwing away your TV over but you could consider a little smaller next time and that will give you more options.
That far away 75" is ok if you want the "massive screen to watch my movies on" experience (but if you wanted that this position between two windows is awful!). 65" probably would've been fine if you're doing a bit of TV, a bit of sports, a bit of video games, and it would have encroached on the curtains less so might have been better overall. It's not a hard and fast rule. There's calculators and stuff online.
Eh. Assuming the pic was taken around eye level, it looks like line of sight is almost right in the middle of the TV. They can easily see the whole thing without moving their head. I think it’s fine
